Does My Mom Want Me To Die?

[HeaMsoRb]

My mom is forcing me to eat chicken that is still raw, while claiming that I am dumb and delusional for thinking that it is raw, pointing it out to her, and being worried for my safety. How do I stop this?

[emmie]

refuse to eat it, she can't make you,

[HeaMsoRb]

@emmie I did this, but I got my IPad taken away as punishment.

[emmie]

can you speak with father or other members of the family over your concerns, i wouldn't eat it, will make you very ill.

[LadyCG]

Take a specimen of this chicken to school with you and explain to Teachers who can hand it over to someone from the Public Health Department for analysis. If your mother is serving you food that is hazardous, a visit from someone official might be the way forward

[emmie]

agree with Lcg, that would be a way of making your mother take note.

[naomi24]

I would imagine if you’d been eating raw chicken you’d have been ill by now. What makes you think it’s raw?

[barry1010]

If you have a microwave just ding the undercooked chicken until it is properly cooked.

[Khandro]

Do you mean raw as in completely uncooked, or is it just cooked & cold?
Raw chicken is a pale pink colour, cooked is white

[10ClarionSt]

Never, ever, eat chicken! Cooked or otherwise. It's one of the major sources of stomach complaints. Along with fresh fish. tis true. But eat it if you want to risk it.

[Peter Pedant]

You must speak to someone in your town/village that you have confidence in. And tell him / her. The older the better. Priest doctor teacher.

You deffo need to involve others beside you and your mum

and dont tell us the result

[Redhelen72]

Yes?

[Peter Pedant]

but luckily she has got the Ipad back
so's can tell us

[AuntPG]

Peter you are talking to a young American girl -they don't do sarcasm.

[pastafreak]

10Clarion...and what of those of us who eat plenty of chicken and fresh fish (several times a week for me)...yet have no stomach complaints?
HeaMsoRb...what part of the chicken is mum giving you? How has it been cooked? Some parts, such as the thigh, can look red even when fully cooked. This is to do with being previously frozen and is fine to eat.

[Peter Pedant]

hi cherie it wasnt sarcasm
she should discuss with someone nearer
and not a load of walk-ins on a site in dear old blighty

[AuntPG]

HeaMsoRb I am presuming you are from the USA because of the use of 'Mom' rather than 'Mum'. Raw or undercooked chicken will be pink and of a jelly consistency inside, if its on the bone it will be red around the bone. Because chicken in the USA is treated with chlorine there is less of a risk of getting food poisoning if you eat slightly undercooked chicken. However, its not a good idea to do so.

Please do not take your chicken to school, they can't do anything and will just put it in the trash, and it could make things worse. Have you got an Aunt or other member of the family you can confide in? If so, tell them your concerns. This is more than a raw chicken issue though, isn't it? Your Moms refusal to listen to you and her excessive punishments need to be resolved and perhaps a word with your school counsellor would be helpful.

Regarding chicken red around bone...

What food is the rest of the family eating?

[barry1010]

10c, I eat chicken and/or fish most days and can’t remember the last time I had a stomach complaint. Poultry and fish are both very healthy.

[LadyCG]

Please DO take your chicken to school. It will NOT be thrown in the trash and will not make things worse (I've never heard anything so ridiculous and clearly aimed at undermining another poster for stupid personal reasons).

Your mother needs a visit from someone in the Public Health Department and your school can facilitate that as they have a safeguarding duty to you.
